[kj] TOT: Critter

[Alexander Smith]

True story. At my last apartment on 12th street, I was brushing my  
teeth, and I noticed that the water was coming out of the faucet in  
fits and starts, as if something was impeding it. I turned the tap  
off, put my brush down and was about to investigate the faucet  
closer..... until one of these same disgusting fuckers dropped out of  
it (prompting me to let out a surprised scream one might expect to  
hear from a jittery girl scout). Much panicking ensued until the  
little beast scurried down the bottom of the sink drain -- never to  
be seen again.

I re-brushed my teeth about nine more times at a different sink  
afterwards.
